paco loco Current mood: anxious Category: Pets and Animals
so yesterday around noon a lady comes into where i work asking if any1 wants a dog. so i slide closer "what? yah me" then she says she got him from a flea market and has feeding the 7 month old tea cup chihauau... ( cant spell that for the life of me), cat food (how stupid is that), saying the puppy wopuldnt know the difference, and it was living in a bird cage before she got him. no shots, not neutered, collar thats too tight.... and no name.
so anyway shes in such a hurry to leave. she pretends she has to go pick up her son at 12 30 somewhere . i tell her to go ahead and leave the dog, it is skin and bones... its afraid and cold. so i put him in my jacket an continue working after i text alx in hopes that we can keep it. alx comes by in a few mins with food ( yaaay was hungry) we introduce it to our dog lobo, who tries to eat the little dog on site and growls at every1 else.
the out look did not look good. after alx decides not keeping the dog forever just till we can find it a good home he leaves with the puppy on his lap lobo barking his head off. mean while the ladys card, no english speaking person picks up the phone. duh, she was not some1 u would trust anyway.
some people come into the store saying they want to see if the dog would get along with another little dog, i call alx he says no he wants to keep it a little longer... ( how fustrating, tell me no dog then there is a chnce to get rid of the dog and hes saying no, i dont know if a should get attached or not...) so i have there number anyway.
after hours i get home and take the dog out to pee. he pees then he grovels in fear, like he was going to be hit. he was falling over when the lady set him down on the counter and had trouble standing and walking like it was something he didnt do often. after he went pee i tooking him around the block to get the mail and he was so happy.
after the walk i went to pick him up becuz he was having trouble with the few steps in front of the slider and he cowers in fear again like he is going to be hurt. i give him and lobo a treat for being so good, the puppys treat i have to tear into tiny pieces, he eats them so eagerly i grab a little sample bag of puppy food and give him a little piece, he took it. i gave him a few more then pour some to fill my hand, i ended up filling my hand 5 times with food till he stoped eating.
he was starving!!! after that alx showered and i got another treat and gave him some more he stopped eating after a few small bites. that hag that had him before was not good to him. her and the people she got him from. he was hand shy and starved. and not allowed to walk around. its a wonder he was clean. she was probably thinking he would go faster if he was clean so bathed him just for that reason.
he didnt have fleas either which is nice... after a while alx wants to call him paco. lol ( we have a house gecko named paco.... i want to get rid of them... cant play with them anyway so i feel no attachment.) paco loco is what we have been calling him. last night i was worried i would accidently lay on him and hurt him. that or he would pee or poop on the bed or the floor.
as far as i know none of those things happened, today he is going over to my mother in laws house while alx and i are at work. he will be with other dogs but im still really bothered. i feel like my mind is clouded. like i wnder if she will come back or if some posters will pop upwith a missing paco loco picture on them.
to be honest if there was a good reward for him i would return him if not i doubt it. but then again the dog is always in fear that he will be beaten just for standing and he duznt even weigh in at 5 lbs.. all of his bones stick out. so im sure he didnt come from a good home neway... i might take a flyer to turn into the police.
so thats the story. just have to wait and see what happens...
